Laser cutting vs. waterjet cutting: which is better?

As a supplier of lasers, you might expect us to always consider lasers the better option. While we are fans of laser solutions in many situations, there are cases where waterjet cutting can be the better choice. Generally, for cutting thin sheets (up to 5 mm), a laser system is more cost-effective and delivers better results per cut. However, for cutting thicker materials, a waterjet machine can be significantly more affordable, especially in terms of initial investment. Lion Lasers is happy to help you determine the best choice for your specific situation.
